New York's Daily News says Julio Acevedo, 44, "has a long rap sheet, including an eight-year stretch in prison for shooting a man to death in Brooklyn in 1987." The tabloid adds that:

"Police believe the violent felon was behind the wheel of a BMW that barreled down Kent Ave. in Brooklyn early Sunday at more than 60 mph — twice the speed limit. The flashy ride T-boned a livery cab that was carrying an expectant couple to a hospital about 12:30 a.m."

Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21, died soon after the crash. Raizy Glauber had been about seven months pregnant. As the AP adds, "their premature son died Monday."
